McKane Found Guilty.
Brooklyn, Feu. 15 —Tne jury
in the case of John Y. McKane, ex-czar
of Gravesend, rendered
verdict of guilty. The prisoner sat
quiet, but his friends were very
much affected. The verdict may
mean imprisonment in the state
prison for two years or teL at th
discretion of the court. An appeal
to the general term, and to the
court ol appeals stands in tha way
of the execution of the sentence,

Conflicting Courts.
St. Louis, Feb. 15.—Attorneys
Thurston and Corwin, who came
here to endeavor to secure an order
harmonizing the contradictory opin-ions
of Judge Dundy, of Omaha,
and Judge Hallett, of Denver,
have met with a surprising ohe k at
the bands of Circuit Court Judge
Caldwell. To seoure a dace for the
bearing, Thurston gave a resume of
the existing state of affairs, rc-citing
wbat the courts as well t s
the receivers had done, devoting
himself more especially to. the an
nulling by the receivers of the wage
schedule, and tbeir order placing
a new and reduced one in effect
March 1, together with the order of
Judge Ducdy recogn zing ti e pre-priety
of such action by Judge Hal-lett,
in effect contradictory to that
order. Mr Thurston said the fail-ure
of Judge Hallett to make any
order on the subject was held as a
refusal to endorse the idea that the
receivers have power to adopt new
schedules, and this apparent clash of
judicial opinion was creating discon-tent
along the line and mak ng the
situation almost threatening.
After some desultory talk Judge
Caldwell said to Mr. Thurston that
the receivers had taken advantage of
the men behind their backs to go
back to Omaha' ani revoke the or-der.
The Judge said: “Then 1 will
take your case, prepare atd adver-tise
your schedule and give the men
